I'm I on the right track here?
Determine the resultant force and acceleration for a box of mass 15kg being pushed with a force of 9N and a force of friction 6N acting to oppose.
Force = Mass * Acceleration
Force = 9N
Resultant Force = 9N - 6N = 3N (is this correct?)
Mass = 15Kg
Therefore,
3 = 15 * A
A = 3/15 m/s (this can't be right, can it?)

Homework Equations
Force = Mass * Acceleration
The Attempt at a Solution
Force = 9N
Resultant Force = 9N - 6N = 3N (is this correct?)
Mass = 15Kg
Therefore,
3 = 15 * A
A = 3/15 m/s (this can't be right, can it?)
